And the person who FINALLY unseated Sherrie Swensen, now's a great time to buy a bike and the Utah desert is rich with dino bones! š¦ š¦“
Good morning, Utah Today readers! Hereās todayās forecast: š¤ 55 ā 88Ā° in Logan |š§10% chance š¤ 69 ā 93Ā° in Salt Lake City |š§10% chance š¤ 72 ā 100Ā° in St. George Iām out in the Boston area visiting a friend this week who has two cats, and I brought my dog with me. I wasnāt raised around cats and was always told that cats are afraid of dogs, but I found out that my dog is actually terrified of cats. He was sitting in my lap trying to get away from the kitties when one crawled right on top of him to take a nap. He didnāt know what to do, so he just hid his face in my arm and cried. Please send prayers and good vibes for my dog. Tell me: Do you know how to spark unlikely animal friendships? Please send me whatever you have! Also on our minds: Romney's Family Security Act 2.0 could leave out large groups of children, now is a great time to buy a bike because stores have too much inventory and paleontologists LOVE Utahās desert. š¦ |
